"The Notorious" might be "Minister McGregor" in a matter of years ... 'cause Conor McGregor tells TMZ Sports he's open to a career in politics!

We got Conor chillin' in NYC with his GF, Dee Devlin ... and the UFC mega-star was positively giddy when we asked him about potentially running for office -- something he teased on social media earlier this week.

"Maybe, who knows?! I know they're shakin' in their boots anyway!!" Conor said.

He was clearly in a joking mood, but Conor seemed dead serious is his cryptic message criticizing the Irish government.

There's more ... when our guy tried (emphasis on "tried") asking about a fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov ... McGregor immediately brought up Floyd Mayweather, saying he "needs to fight again."

If President Donald Trump decides to take a last minute trip to the Super Bowl -- don't expect Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey to lead the welcoming party!

For those unfamiliar ... 36-year-old Frey has made headlines for speaking his mind -- most recently when he made a video in which he asked if the city was really welcoming "f**king Eagles" fans to Minnesota.

So we asked if he would welcome Trump, too ... the answer? Not so much.

Frey did, however, say his dream celebrity meet-and-greet would be Snoop Dogg -- saying a Gin and Juice session with the rapper is on his bucket list!

... Unless Snoop suddenly becomes an Eagles fan.

We got the former White House Communications Director at LAX Thursday and asked him about the nixed deal from the mobile carrier. TMZ broke the story ... T-Mobile offered the Mooch a mid 6-figure deal for a surprise Super Bowl ad. But then, the carrier pulled the plug.

Scaramucci's adamant it had everything to do with siding with Trump ... but he insists everyone take a look at his record -- he's been a gay rights activist his whole life. It's true ... his investment company has donated to pro-gay rights groups in the past and he's pushed for workplace equality.

Anthony Scaramucci almost had the last laugh on Donald Trump, because T-Mobile offered him a fortune to do a Super Bowl ad, but then mysteriously pulled the plug ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the deal tell us the behemoth mobile carrier contacted Scaramucci's reps a few weeks ago and offered in the mid-6 figures for a surprise ad during the game. We're told the premise was Scaramucci at a podium fielding questions about T-Mobile, and whenever someone had their information wrong he'd scream, "Fake news!!!"

Days after the offer was made, it was pulled with no explanation. Sources connected with the former White House Communications Director say they believe it was yanked because of Scaramucci's politics.

Ken Bone, the red sweater-wearing star of one of President Trump's 2016 debates, has an admittedly sloshed review of 45's first State of the Union address.

Bone's giving Trump an 8 out of 10 for his speech because he wasn't contentious, and preached unity and bipartisanship ... even if many members of Congress weren't buying it. Now, to why Bone was bombed during the speech.

He created a drinking game for SOTU viewers ... a pretty complicated one, actually.

SOTU in five minutes! Play along but know your limits. I beg you not to drive or operate heavy machinery after more than a few seconds of this game.

Stormy caught wind of Wendy's show Wednesday when the host called her washed up, messy -- and the coup de grace -- "all worn out down below." Now, Stormy's firing back, telling TMZ ... "My vagina is a well trained beautiful athlete that would not have the longest running contract in porn history if she were ugly."

George Lopez is ditching his love affair with golf to stand in solidarity with DACA.

We got the comedian leaving the Laugh Factory Tuesday night in WeHo and asked him about Trump's first State of the Union address. GLo laughed it off, but then got serious about the DREAM Act -- which would allow undocumented children of immigrants to go to school, work and eventually become U.S. residents.

Seems like George had a few drinks before we got him, but it also seems like he's dead serious about the protest.
